install mono-complete to get everything I need. However, the
latest release of mono (4.0.1) came a few bugs which makes us have
to install the previous version (3.12.1).
<br>
I tried to follow the instructions on the mono home page
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/">http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/</a>)
and ran the following commands:
<br>
<br>
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80
--recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
<br>
$ echo "deb <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian">http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian</a> wheezy<b>/snapshots/3.12.0</b>
main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
<br>
$ sudo apt-get update
<br>
<br>
<b>Question #1:</b> I get the following exception. What am I doing
wrong?<br>
<i>W: Conflicting distribution: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.mono-project.com">http://download.mono-project.com</a>
wheezy/snapshots/3.12.0 Release (expected wheezy/snapshots but
got wheezy)</i>

<br>
The W prefix means a warning, not an error. It's harmless, and
basically unavoidable with reprepro-managed Debian repositories
using snapshots.<br>

<b>Question #2:</b>
Provided this would work (I assume I'm typing something wrong),
would this be the equivalent of mono-complete?
<br>

<br>
In the general case, it will work.<br>
<br>
But downgrading with Apt is an absolute pain in the ass - you will
likely have better results by uninstalling everything Mono-related
THEN using the snapshot than trying to downgrade from one version to
the other.<br>
